Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service have asked for teddies to be donated to local fire stations to send to Ukraine. 

The service aims to collect small teddies, no taller than 12 inches, to accompany fire engines and equipment being sent to Ukraine by the company Fire Aid. 

The reason they need to be this size is that space is limited.

A spokesperson said that the aim of the Teddy bears is to "provide some comfort  to the many children who have managed to escape the trauma of the war in their country."

The donations need to be new or in good condition, according to the service. 

They can be dropped off at any local fire station before Monday, April 18, which is when the supplies will be shipped to Poland.
